A review by tuftymctavish
Against All Enemies by Jack Campbell, John G. Hemry
3.0
An entertaining enough read that follows the exact same template as the previous books in the series; setup, event, trial, and a very brief wrap-up. Fortunately it adds a few more elements into the broad mix which made it a bit more interesting.
I was expecting it to go in one direction but afterwards I realised that the series had already effectively covered that scenario in the 3rd book. Still, things have evolved in each book, forced onwards by the lack of any major change. The stiff and formal dialogue remains the same, lots of repetition around the formula, and little in the way of surprise.
Despite all that I was happy enough to finish it as it's a lightweight read and the 'new' content in each book tends to be interesting enough to keep me going.
